King Murder was an enemy of the Blackhawk Squadron.
History
Not long after the end of the Second World War, King Murder undertook a campaign of espionage and assassination, bent on obtaining a strategically-critical experimental fuel, Z-20. King Murder commanded a team of masked, caped, knife-wielding, fanatical assassins, several of whom willingly died to avoid capture. He successfully stole the world's sole copy of the Z-20 formula, and in the process captured Blackhawk alive. Blackhawk's team of fliers freed Blackhawk, and Andre shot King Murder dead. On witnessing this, his followers all killed themselves.
